Produktbeschreibung

The Routledge History Handbook of Medieval Revolt charts the history of medieval rebellion across Europe between Imperial Rome and the Reformation. Drawing together an international group of leading scholars, chapters consider how uprisings worked, why they happened, whom they implicated, what they meant to contemporaries, and how we might understand them now. Supported by an introduction and conclusion which survey the previous historiography of medieval revolt, and envisage future directions in the field, The Routledge History Handbook of Medieval Revolt will be an essential reference for students and scholars of medieval political history.
